Thanks very much Michael ! I do volunteer desktop publishing in this building. I am having a big clean-up of my Gallery, 5 pages have gone and I’ll take another 7 down – stuff that hasn’t had a comment in months. Thanks a lot for the Fave !

nice photo. such history. how old is this building?
reflector replied
Thanks Mr Teeth, much appreciated ! It’s well over one hundred years old but was restored about 15 years ago. I tried to find out exactly but their web page was giving a server error.
Marilyn Harris
Great effect James!! Love what you have done!! :o))
reflector replied
Thanks very much Blossom ! It’s a treatment I developed about 10 days ago – Track By The River
This one is applied differently. Thanks for the Fave !
MuscularTeeth
interesting. my place is about 150 years old so i was curious if it was a contemporary thing.
reflector replied
It’s a blend. Where they could restore elements to their original state, they did. Door trimmings, gutters, and ceiling fans are more contemporary renditions of those old classics.
Lori Peters

Bev Woodman
Great shot and I love the treatment of this old building. I love Ash Island – there’s so much to explore out there and there is so much good work being done with the rehab program there. Incidentally I found this info on the old school – Ash Island Public School in the county of Northumberland began as a Provisional School in February 1873. It was converted to a Public School in 1877, the exact date is unknown. The school closed in December 1968.

Thanks a lot Bev ! I don’t do much research for my images, I worry about copyright. It all has to be re-worded to be safe.
This is the School Masters House, but I’ve done a photo-restoration of the actual School for the Wetlands Centre for a Sign.

Thanks Blamo ! I meant to make it colour when I started, but forgot as I was working away. :)

Thanks Mekea ! It was a colour capture, treated to mimic sepia and aging.

Great shot of a very significative building. Have learned a lot from previous comments.
reflector replied
This building is where they run a habitat reclamation project, restoring an island that had been farmed for 150 years and also had industry damaging the environment. Thanks for looking, it’s very humbling !
TomBaumker
Nice work great treatment my friend. I love old buildings and places to we need to capture the beauty before they disapear from the weather. I do all I can to help in the old town where I live ,I`ve been on the board of Directors of our local Historical Society trying to make a difference. Tom
reflector replied
That sounds like a very interesting and important role, Tom ! Thanks for the compliment mate !

Nice work! You’ve inspired me to get out there and visit the Wetlands :)
reflector replied
Thanks very much ! I’ve got a few shots in my Gallery, but I had about 15 before a recent tidy-up of my Gallery. There’s a lot there, but you have to hunt for it much of the time.
